94 2.4 non-turbo diesel knocking and a whining - Tphwoar
anyone help,
problem 1
for the last month i've had a clicking on full wheel lock and a thump when taking corners
especially roundabouts. Had CV joint done last week, clicking gone but still got thump. Any ideas

Problem 2
last 3 cold starts get a whine when first begin to accelerate/pull off - seems to be at a certain range of revs - then goes after a minute - am concerned as my oil warning light is faulty and wondering if this is connected to a pump going (should learn not to try and self diagnose problems via the web) or just a loose alternator belt

any help appreciated

thanks

slt

knocking and a whining - Screwloose
Year? Engine? Fuel type? (SL we're looking at an "engineering" solution to this age old problem !)

What's wrong with the oil light?

D'oh
its a 2.4 diesel not a turbo
94 registration


re oil light: common fault on T4, apparently loose circuit in dash display - also no fuel/temp guage but can intermittently come on if fuel tank full

thanks for response
